The multiple/borderline link

[drleanne.livejournal.com]

Here is a link to pages in a book called Borderline Personality Disorder, etiology and treatment that suggests a link btween BPD and MPD, tho this study is suggesting that the borderline did not have the full dissociative capacity to split which i admit iss different than what i presented earlier.

Now the stuff that i was talking about earlier may have been declared defunct. I don't know. Thats cool if it is and i am sorry that I didn't have the most current information. And yes, I admit i may have over generalized when I said most.

This topic has been talked about with a psychologist friend of mine, and when I get together with her again I'll ask for more current journal entries and whatnot.

Otto Von Kernberg included MPD in his theory of Borderline Personality Organization
creating a big category of people he believes that have poor sense of self. I would
rather take object relational theory and use it to show how a mind can form/contain
objects that happen to be people in their own right defining themselves against each
other and against their experiences in the world.

I would agree witht the study that BPD should be included in an impulse control problem
category and i would say that any impulse control problem is highly indicative of head
injury. We had moderatly bad impulse control problems until we were put on an
anticonvulsant. The severe impulse control problems have been fairly well linked in my
case to a nasty bike accident where i was knocked out and recieved 2 blows one of which
put dents in my helmet.

Personally i would argue that most people have a degree of multiplicity in themselves
but it never gets to the point that it is noticed and in people with a GREAT deal of
multiplicity in themselves it is not noticed until they get sick for some reason and
the multiplicity is blamed.
